Baza that is brilliant - like all your seedlings - I need to do the sweetpeas yet and what a lot of potatoes you planted - are they 1st, 2nd or maincrop ones? all looking fab
Thanks Hampshire Hog still got a lot to do . All sheds, fencing and decking need painting really looking forward to that hmmmm he he. But all the seedlings are coming along nicely so fingers crossed we get no more frosts and it starts warning up a bit they'll then be potted on to bigger pots then planted out in May if all goes to plan
Hi gardengirl I've experimented this year with the potatoes I've got 60 odd maris piper maincrop but the rest are just bags of potatoes we had stored in a cupboard in the house so I've planted them out with the maris piper so we'll see how they turn out As for the sweet Peas I noticed Monty Don planted his out but mine are nowhere near as big as his so it'll be a few weeks before I plant them out. I've also seen them in some garden centres up here in Durham so it might pay you to buy some just in case it's too late to sow seeds Thanks Baz n Hels
Hi Hazel I used the sunflower seeds off last year's plants most have come through and growing well apart from the black sunflowers no idea why . I try not to overdo things but by the time I get done I've probably overdone it if that makes sense . Cancer has took more out of me than I realised but hopefully in time I'll get my strength back Thanks Baz
Amazing what a little change in temperature does Got to be honest I thought we were gonna lose a lot of the veg as its been that cold but they have grown more leaves especially the cabbages so we are really pleased. Sunflowers have practically doubled in size Carrots have germinated and at last cucumbers have popped through yesssa Thanks Baz n Hels
A little bit of heat can really bring things on. I was worried about the recent low night temperatures but have found stuff germinated in the GH have faired really well.
I've stuff at home too but it's still to cold to bring them down to the plot.
Hi Zoomer44 I'll be planting out all the onions , peas and radishes this weekend the rest will be in May unless the warm weather we are expecting this weekend stays for a while and might bring the rest on quicker. Apart from the sunflowers and sweet pea flowers all my other flowers are really struggling at the moment just hope they catch up with the warm weather aswell Thanks Baz n Hels
